Not obvious that an SU34 or any of their other fighter-bombers could carry such a thing, might have to use the white swans...

Ouch. Only possible after suppressing Zelvis’s dwindling air defense systems, which are mobile and desperately getting shuttled back and forth across the country.

Whoever rebuilds the wrecked towns will need trillions of $ equivalent. It may take longer than rebuilding Germany.

Russia has announced a new production of FAB-3000 bombs. Which means Russia does not have enough of them now and will not any time soon.

The FAB-3000 was developed in the 1950s. SU-34s can not carry them, it takes at least a TU-22 and those are strategic bombers. Russia is not going to risk a TU-22 to drop unguided bombs on Ukraine. None of the Russian glide bomb kits fit the FAB-3000. It will take time for Russia to build them, build and test glide bomb kits, and fit them to a bomber.

Given Russian procurement history this is a decade away if ever. That assumes this is for real, not more Russian empty bravado.

“West admits Russian glide bombs might actually be “game-changer”

This a very good recap of the FAB 500, 1000 and 1500s that have changed the face of the battle this year. There’s video of the winged ordinance being launched and activating the wings.

Wow! Massive terror and destruction, unheard of in civilized warfare!

Oh, except for these, and others, used by the US Britain, and Germany.

Amateur propaganda like this is why they want to censor the internet.
